ATHENS, Ga. Olivier Giroud France Jersey . -- Jauan Jennings hauled in a 43-yard Hail Mary from Joshua Dobbs on the final play, giving No. 11 Tennessee a stunning 34-31 victory over No. 25 Georgia after the Bulldogs appeared to win the game on a long TD pass of their own with 10 seconds remaining Saturday.The Vols (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) rallied from a double-digit deficit for the fourth time in five games, but this was their most improbable comeback yet. The SEC East rivals packed a whole games worth of action into the closing minutes as Tennessee went ahead for the first time all afternoon by recovering a fumble by Georgia (3-2, 1-2) in the end zone with 2:56 to go.Then, after the Bulldogs threw an interception but got the ball back one more time, Jacob Eason tossed a 47-yard touchdown pass to fellow freshman Riley Ridley. With the Sanford Stadium crowd in a frenzy, Tennessee took the kickoff into position to take one shot at the end zone.Dobbs hurled a towering pass that the 6-foot-3 Jennings didnt really have that much trouble bringing down . He leaped above the scrum to make the catch, and then landed on his back for the score that sent the Tennessee bench charging on the field to celebrate.I just know to go get it, Jennings said. I just grabbed the ball and brought it in.Georgia built a 17-0 lead in the first half but was clinging to a 24-21 edge when it got the ball deep in its own territory late in the fourth quarter.Risking a pass from his own end zone, Eason tried to pull the ball down and was crushed by two Tennessee defenders, Derek Barnett and Cortez McDowell. The ball came loose and Corey Vereen fell on it for a touchdown.Turns out, these teams were just getting warmed up.Eason had another turnover, this one an interception by Malik Foreman. But Georgia used a couple of its timeouts, held defensively and got the ball back again. This time, the young quarterback came through, quickly driving the Bulldogs past midfield. After their final timeout, Eason found Ridley streaking behind two defenders down the left sideline, delivering a pass that the young receiver took in stride, seemingly giving Georgia an improbable win.Not so fast.An excessive celebration penalty forced the Bulldogs to kick off from their own 20, and Evan Berrys 20-yard return got the Vols in range to throw one up. When Jennings brought it down, Tennessee coach Butch Davis sank to his knees, overcome with emotion, while Vols running back Alvin Kamara sprawled out on his back, seemingly in disbelief.It was a crazy play, stuff you dream about, Dobbs said.THE TAKEAWAYTennessee: The Vols have shown remarkable resilience while gaining a commanding position in the SEC East. They keep getting off to sluggish starts, but keep finding ways to win. Now, they have victories over both Florida and Georgia, likely to be their two leading challengers in the division race. That not only puts Tennessee ahead in the standings, but provides a tiebreaker edge that could come in handy by the end of the season.Georgia: The Bulldogs have now lost two in a row in the SEC, a huge blow to their hopes of contending for a division championship in Kirby Smarts first season as coach. It will be interesting to see how they bounce back from such a devastating loss.POLL IMPLICATIONSTennessee could move back into the Top 10, while Georgia is sure to tumble out of the rankings for the first time this season when The Associated Press poll comes out Sunday. The Bulldogs barely hung on to the final spot after their big loss at Ole Miss.UP NEXTTennessee: The Vols are facing their third straight game against a ranked opponent, and another tough one on the road, when they travel to College Station to take on No. 9 Texas A&M (5-0). It doesnt get any easier after that, either. No. 1 Alabama visits Neyland Stadium on Oct. 15, finishing off the toughest part of Tennessees schedule.Georgia: The Bulldogs hit the road to face another SEC East rival, South Carolina.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

Forward Chandler Parsons and the Dallas Mavericks will definitely part ways after two seasons together, a source told ESPN.No chance, the source said when asked if there were any possibility that Parsons re-signs with the Mavs.The divorce comes after the Mavs made it clear they had no intention to offer a maximum contract to Parsons, whose two seasons in Dallas both ended prematurely due to surgeries on his right knee.?Parsons expects to sign a max deal and said as much during a recent question-and-answer session with fans on Twitter. A max contract for Parsons with the Mavs, who own his early Bird rights, would have been worth $98.8 million over four years. Other teams can offer him $94.8 million over four years.Parsons will meet with a Portland Trail Blazers contingent including Damian Lillard in Los Angeles when free agency officially begins at 12:01 a.m. ET Friday, according to league sources. The Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic are among suitors for Parsons, sources said.Mavs owner Mark Cuban attempted to talk Parsons, his partner in last summers ultimately unsuccessful attempt to recruit center DeAndre Jordan to Dallas, into opting into the final season of the three-year, $46 million deal the forward signed after spending his first three seasons with the Houston Rockets. Sources said Parsons never seriously considered picking up the option, confident that he would receive a significant raise and long-term deal this summer, with versatile, playmaking forwards in high demand and short supply.The Mavs responded by planning to put Parsons on the back burner to begin free agency, which made Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley and Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside their top targets. The Mavs will meet with Conley and Whiteside on the first day of free agency, according to sources.The Mavs have a meeting scheduled with Charlotte Hornets small forward Nicolas Baatum, a source told The Undefeateds Marc J. Dimitri Payet France Jersey. Spears. Batum is high on the list of Dallas contingency plans if the team doesnt sign Conley or Whiteside, though his price tag could be higher than Parsons, as Batum is eligible for a higher tier of max contract (five years, $153 million from the Hornets or four years, $113.6 million from other suitors).Cuban had consistently described Parsons as a foundation piece, but sources said Dallas decision-makers reached a consensus that they werent willing to offer him a max deal.Parsons averaged 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game during his two-year tenure in Dallas but was able to play in only one playoff game because of his knee injuries.Parsons, 27, had hybrid microfracture surgery on the knee in spring 2015, and the rehab from that operation lasted well into the 2015-16 season. The arthroscopic operation Parsons underwent to address a torn meniscus in the knee this spring wasnt nearly as serious as the previous surgery.Sources said multiple renowned orthopedic specialists have given Parsons clearance to resume full basketball activities and expressed optimism that his knee will not prevent him from having a long, productive NBA career.Parsons averaged 13.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 61 games last seasons, statistics skewed by a slow start as he dealt with strict minutes restrictions. He had the best statistical stretch of his five-year career in the two months before his season ended, with averages of 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 47.7 percent from 3-point range and proving he could thrive at power forward in addition to small forward.ESPNs Marc Stein and The Undefeateds Marc J. Spears contributed to this report. ' ' '
